This is needed to support modern terminals like foot and Alacritty. These take up around 7.5MB more, but the btrfs compression should reduce this considerably. Signed-off-by: James Le Cuirot <jlecuirot@microsoft.com>

How to use
SSH to a VM using foot or Alacritty and try using
less. It should not complain.Testing done
This Jenkins run passed except for the known bpf.execsnoop issue. I also manually tested using Alacritty. The nightly differences report was drowned out by the recent weekly update, so I took a closer look.
The 7.5MB figure above was from
duon my own system, but btrfs evidently reports a different block size, as it was 12MB there. This is largely irrelevant for btrfs though. Adding--apparent-sizetells us the actual amount of data is 2.2MB.compsizetells us the compressed size on btrfs, which is 50% or 1.1MB. So not much at all really!changelog/directory (user-facing change, bug fix, security fix, update)/bootand/usrsize, packages, list files for any missing binaries, kernel modules, config files, kernel modules, etc.
